Ok, I think it's time we decide on what to call the new Minelab Equinox machines...... Eq (as in Eck?) Q? Nox? I vote for Nox. :icon_thumleft: I think a Nox800 is in my future by the looks of the preliminary reviews.

nox sounds about right
 

I named mine "Noxie," and I have slept with her twice! :tongue3:

An equinox is commonly regarded as the moment when the plane of Earth's equator passes through the center of the Sun's disk,[SUP][2][/SUP] which occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September. In other words, it is the point in which the center of the visible sun is directly over the equator. This simplified, but incorrect, understanding of Earth's orbital motion can lead to errors of up to 69 seconds from the actual time of equinox.
The instants of the equinoxes are currently defined to occur when the ecliptic longitude of the Sun is either 0° or 180°.[SUP][3][/SUP] As the true motion of the Earth is affected by the gravitational pull of the Sun and Moon (and to lesser extent the other planets), there are tiny (up to 1¼ arcsecond) variations of the Sun's ecliptic latitude(discussed in section below) that may mean the Sun's center is not precisely over the equator at the moment of equinox.
On the day of an equinox, daytime and nighttime are of approximately equal duration all over the planet. They are not exactly equal, however, due to the angular sizeof the Sun and atmospheric refraction. The word is derived from the Latin aequinoctium, from aequus (equal) and nox (genitive noctis) (night).
 

How about nox8 or nox6?

Hope you used some type of protection because you may have to take a couple rounds of "Noxiecillon" :laughing7:
 

Not a big fan of Nox myself, makes me think of noxious or noxema, neither of which are particularly appealing to me. So I am using EQ.
 

I won't swing without protection...coil protection that is

I'm calling them all EQX, just like we called the CTX. But you could call it Platy, or Pus since ML's owns name for it is the "Platypus".

As for individual names, I'll probably call mine "ghost" because even though I know its out there somewhere I just haven't seen any evidence of it, LOL
 

Equimax
 

For the Star Wars buffs, how about Obie Nox Wonobie?
 

After viewing a pile of forum pages I have a very strong feeling that the term "NOX" is the clear winner in this case so the repeated use of other terms may very well become ab nox chus.:notworthy:
 

I go with EQ. It's what I've been using anyway. In talking about the detector itself, I refer to them as the EQ6, or EQ8. I'm with "vferrari" on this one, NOX= noxious/noxema
